A summer surge on Peacock shows just how timeless the show has become
Chicago Fire is once again proving its staying power — not just on NBC, but now dominating the streaming charts on Peacock. As of July 2025, the series ranks in the Top 10 most-watched shows on the platform, alongside its sibling, Chicago P.D.
Why fans keep coming back
The magic of Chicago Fire lies in its balance: intense rescue missions, layered characters, and emotionally grounded storytelling. While newer procedural shows come and go, Chicago Fire keeps delivering episodes that feel both personal and thrilling.
Streaming isn’t slowing it down — it’s giving it new life
This surge in viewership during the summer hiatus suggests that old fans are rewatching and new fans are discovering the show for the first time. With Season 14 on the horizon, this momentum may be exactly what the franchise needs to continue thriving.
